We Can't Seem to Shake the Winter - Some Skyline Chili Would Be Just Right


Here in Cincinnati, winter has come late and we can't seem to shake it. While we're not being buried in snow, the last couple of weeks have been a weather roller coaster; warming up a bit, bitterly cold next and snow, ice, rain and then more snow. A little bit of sunshine has been mixed in and we no spring is just on the horizen because the Reds are on the radio now (a good time to see our Baseball Emporium).


But the Reds are not the purpose of this blog entry. Rather it's to let you still in the throes of winter that we've got plenty of Skyline Chili in stock ready to ship to you. Nothing can stave off the winter blues than some of our famed chili! I ship to anywhere in the United States - sorry no international orders. And for those snowbirds who've migrated to warmer climates - it still hits the spot!

NCAA Great John Wooden - SIGNED copy of They Call Me Coach



You never know what you're going to find and this morning I came across a 1973 1st paperback printing of NCAA Hall of Fame player and coach John Wooden's book They Call Me Coach. The book is SIGNED by Wooden, inscribed: May you enjoy this story about a coach -John Wooden.


Wooden is now 97 years old and led the UCLA Bruins to ten NCAA Championships. He is the first and one of only three people in the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and coach.


Take a look at the listing at my eCrater store.

Richard Petty NASCAR cars from General Mills Cereals



A few years ago, I had some success selling little Hot Wheels or Matchbox type cars that General Mills put in their cereal boxes as a premium. They're back and I have a couple listed on my eCrater Store site. The pictures are a little blurry as my camera seems to have something wrong with it, but the cars in new, in their original packages.

Joe Nuxhall Remembered

Here in Cincinnati, we were all disappointed to hear that the late Joe Nuxhall was not selected as this year's recipient of the Ford Frick Award from the baseball Hall of Fame.

For those who are one of Joe's many fans, I still have copies of the tributes from both the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Cincinnati Post. I will combine shipping if you buy a multiple copies of the papers.

Maybe next year we can celebrate Nuxie getting into the Hall of Fame!
